Abstract
How do scientists know what they know? The answer isn’t as easy as it appears at first glance. For example, consider the following questions:
-
1.
Is nicotine addictive?
-
2.
Is homosexuality, or alcoholism caused genetically?
-
3.
Does cocaine addiction produce withdrawal symptoms like those in heroin addiction?
-
4.
Does parental neglect of infants cause autism?
